Siegert said he, however, was aware of the few who pro tested this most recent war. "Of course, no one wants to fight in a war," he said. "But the soldiers in the Gulf felt there was a just cause for fighting in this war." After he left for Saudi Arabia Dec. 14> 1990, Siegert said his priorities were clear. "The greatest lesson I've learned while being over there was how important my family and friends were back home," he said. "I have a greater apprecia tion." His loved ones said the same thing. His parents, residents of College Station, said much of the time they were not sure how their son was doing. "He did not receive much of our mail nor did we receive his," Dorothy Siegert said. "We stayed glued to the television set at all times." In addition to family and friends, Siegert said he missed hot, home-cooked meals. With that in mind, he spent the rest of the evening eating, hugging, and answering questions about his war experiences. Police plead innocent High court rules in LA abuse hearing on discrimination LOS ANGELES (AP) — Four policemen entered innocent pleas today to assault charges in the videotaped beating of motor ist Rodney King after their law yers lost bids to nave their indict ment declared insufficient. The police officers, dressed in business suits, stood beside their attorneys and individually an swered in soft voices, "Not guilty." The four were charged in the March 3 attack on a black motor ist that stined national outrage and charges of racism after it was captured on videotape by an on looker and played on television. King is black; the officers are white. At a hearing today, attorneys failed to persuade a judge to grant the four officers prelimi nary hearings. Superior Court Judge Gary Klausner said a new law enacted under the Proposition 115 speedy trial initiative has already been tested and does not allow such duplicate procedures. The four have already been indicted. The attorneys said in open court they expect the officers to be charged under federal law as well as under state law. "The president of the United States has vowed there will be federal indictments in this case," said attorney John Barnett, rep resenting Officer Theodore Bris eno, 38. Also entering pleas were Sgt. Stacey Koon, 40, and Officers Laurence Powell, 28, and Timo thy Wind, 30. TWC will supervise cleanup of Bee Creek Continued from page 1 certainly leans toward the high levels of chlorine." She said the Mobley Pool Co. is responsible for cleaning up the area, even though Mobley rep resentatives reported that city of ficials directed them to dump the pool water on the street which drains into Bee Creek. Watson said she believes the Mobley Pool Co. was "pumping out" the area to filter the water, but that she had no confirmation the company had completed its efforts. The TWC will supervise the cleanup by verifying that the pool company conducted it properly, sne said. "Hopefully, it was cleaned up to a level that comes close to the creek's original status," Watson said. "There will be damage. But if the cleanup is done properly, it will be kept to a minimum." George Mobley, owner of Mobley Pool Co., could not be reached for comment.

The court said a provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Act barring on-the-job bias based on race, sex, religion and national origin does not protect American citi zens working abroad for U.S. companies. By a 6-3 vote, the justices killed a lawsuit against Arabian American Oil Co., now known as Saudi ARAMCO, by Ali Bou- reslan of El Paso, a Lebanese- born naturalized U.S. citizen. Boureslan said he was ha rassed by a supervisor and den ied time off for Moslem holidays when he worked in Saudi Arabia for Arabian American Oil Co. Boureslan, an engineer, said he was fired in 1984 after com plaining that a supervisor taunted him about his heritage and refused to give time off for a Moslem holiday. Federal agencies, while dis agreeing over how many U.S. citizens work overseas for Amer ican companies, estimate the number is in the millions. TRAVEL EUROPE On Your Owm!
